Could you please provide a link to the most up to date page/doc about
VirtualFull (including setup instructions).

RE the "Since" type of backup -- if not implemented it should be hidden,
no? :)

A related question:
We have a large mail server to backup and full backup is too long hence
there is a need for "reverse-incremental" backup: full backup runs only
once and next backups are merged into the full backup (sounds like
Virtual so far) but we would like to remove old increments (lets say
retention is 60 days) without removing the original full. How can this
be done with Bacula?
The problem with VirtualFull is that it cannot be used as a base for
next incremental (unless I am wrong?)

Regards,
Alex
